  • You know, as I said, we're trying a lot of different things lately, and one of the things that we tried not too long ago is we started trying to put a bit of a spotlight on people that work here behind the scenes of this show, making a little bit about them because it kills time.

  • And it's a nice thing to Dio.

  • But I really did want to actually get more involved in their lives and help out a little bit.

  • So recently, I said to the staff, If anybody has a problem, something that's bothering them, something about their life here, it late night with Conan O'Brien, that's less than perfect.

  • I'm very accessible.

  • Please come to me and tell me your problem, and I will do my best to fix it, and I meant it.

  • I really wanted to help out.

  • Not too long ago, someone who works here at this show very nice guy named Aaron Blair came to me and he said that he had something that was troubling him, something behind the scenes here at this show that wasn't quite working for him, and he wanted my help.

  • I decided to help him and I brought a camera crew along.

  • And here's what happened.

  • I've heard Aaron Blair.

  • Aaron, your role is you don't have to wave like that.

  • Sorry.

  • Just just be there.

  • Just be there.

  • Right?

  • Who, Uh, Friendly.

  • Listen, you are a researcher at the show.

  • Correct?

  • Okay.

  • What?

  • What's the problem that you would like me to fix?

  • Well, it's kind of it's an issue in the men's bathroom here on nine, and it kind of makes me uncomfortable.

  • It's an awkward situation.

  • This is the men's bathroom.

  • Why don't we go inside and you show me the problem and I'll try to fix it?
